Alicia
Keys recently took the stage to champion a more peaceful world for
children with a performance of
“We Are
Here” – the first single from her upcoming sixth studio LP. Keys’ began at the piano, where she performed against
a dark backdrop that allowed the lyrics to shine like brilliant stars as she
delivered her anthem against the many injustices affecting kids across the
globe, from inadequate education to hunger, fatherlessness and more. The plea
for peace gained momentum as
Questlove
joined in on drums to round out the chant with Keys encouraging people
everywhere to push for a better world. Check the footage below to watch Alicia
Keys’ performance of “We Are Here” with Questlove.
The sound of the tune is rooted in Keys’ typical anthem style but is riddled with calls to action for people to start talking about tragedies like Gaza, Israel, Nigeria and more. In an interview with the Associated Press, Keys shared details about her new album saying, “What I know for a fact is it’s the best music I’ve ever done in my life yet and it’s really exciting to be able to have this kind of growth, this type of opportunity.”
